	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Webhamster Henry: The stream phono-bombs you!
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm univac: Hello! Congrats Austin on the big 100!
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm yerfriendpaul: Hey Austin, everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Austin Rich: Thanks for joining us, here at the Blue Note Cafe. Seems like the stream already re-set, so hopefully we won't have any more trouble!
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm univac: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:01 Yeah, that was funny timing!
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Imaginos: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:02 Nice to see you
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm Imaginos: The precursor of Edison Carter?
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm Austin Rich: We have Imaginos, Charles, Webhamster Henry, univac, yerfriendpaul, and some lurkers, no doubt! Hopefully you'll enjoy these Casey, Crime Photographer shows, and our time spent here in the Blue Note Cafe!
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Webhamster Henry: This audio is real clean!
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:03 He's certainly in the same business.
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm yerfriendpaul: Ooh that’s creepy !
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:04 There are a lot of missing Casey episodes, but the ones we do have sound pretty good. I did a little clean-up, but less than normal.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm univac: Here you go, Austin. An Old Fashioned.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: So, the gimmick for Casey, Crime Photographer is that Casey and Ann, his partner, hang out at The Blue Note, in-between the rest of the story, and they chat up Elthelbert, the bartender. It's a location they usually return to a couple times per show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:07 Oh, thanks! I could use a drink.
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Webhamster Henry: I'm hearing Daws Butler here.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: The music at The Blue Note is always provided by Jazz Pianist Herman Chittison: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:08 I think it's Jan "Madge" Miner.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: I believe Casey is performed by Staats Cotsworth. Ethelbert is performed by John Gibson.
	9:13pm Mr Fab: Hey Austin! Is that a Jewish accent on the camera shop guy?
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:08 I was mis-remembering who Daws Butler was! I don't think they did any voices on this show, but I could be wrong!
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Webhamster Henry: Nice background cough!
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:13 I'm not sure what it was supposed to be. Probably just "generic foreign voice" by late 40's standards.
	9:15pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:14 Ha! Yeah, it was going all over the place.
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Austin Rich: While the sound is good, there are a few "glitches" in the recording, where the transcription disc skipped when the show was transferred to another format. I tried to edit out the most annoying moments, but there's a few glitchy moments that were needed for story clarity.
	9:19pm Mr Fab: A show about a visual format (photography) on an audio format (radio). So seems like a natural show to move to TV.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: The ads in this show are not only for one company, but the show was actually PRODUCED by the sponsor during this period, and their ads are fairly tied into the show. (In fact, the "in-story" explanation for the ads is that the "announcer" is just one of the regulars hanging out at The Blue Note Cafe.) Some of the ad transitions are pretty odd, because of this.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:19 There was a TV version. (And some movies made.) And there were nine different radio versions of this show over a 12 year period, that produced over 300 episodes. Most of them are, unfortunately, missing.
	♥ 9:21pm WR: Hi Austin, Mr Fab, WHHenry, yerfriendpaul, univac, Imaginos, Charles, Casey Crime Photographer and knocked out copper.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:21 WR! Thanks for joining us!
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Webhamster Henry: A knock out in every show! Where's Eugor?
	9:23pm Mr Fab: Hey, think we got a new blurb: “Dimestore Radio Theater: It’s A Real Knockout.”
	9:24pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:21 Never heard of the tv show. Any episodes surviving?
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:23 I love it! I need to get stickers made!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:24 I'm not as familiar with the TV show, but here's more info: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 9:26pm WR: Tstphouie!
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm yerfriendpaul: They’re driving that guy outta business!
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: If I understand correctly, this show was recorded in front of a live audience.
	9:30pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:25 1951-1952, yeah, super early tv. Can’t find any existing tv episodes, just radio ones.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:29 I guess their status as dedicated customers keep them from getting in real trouble? They probably pay for it eventually.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:30 I think there's public domain movies, though. I found them somewhere, once...
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Webhamster Henry: Corning is the most famous name in glass, mr Fake Ad Newsman.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: As you just heard, our announcer is Tony Marvin. Apparently, he is both a character in the show, and an announcer for CBS. I feel like I should wrote some fan-fic, from his point of view, where HE get's tied up in a crime...
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:32 I was a Kerr man, myself.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:33 That could be interesting
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Webhamster Henry: An "accident" is usually what dogs have in apartments.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Austin Rich: It is a shame that they had Herman Chittison playing live piano for these shows, and you can BARELY hear the performances on some of these shows. He did record music that was released in his time, but these shows were VERY popular, and was a major boon to his career. It would be cool if we could hear these without the VOs.
	9:37pm Mr Fab: Quite a lot of exposition. Really speeding up the story. Could have been a half-hour longer.
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Imaginos: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:36 Or what burglars have when they trip over the dog
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:37 Some of these would have make great short movies.
	9:37pm wenzo: Howdee AR & fellow Dime Store patrons
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @9:37 wenzo! Welcome to the Blue Note Cafe!
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:37 Wikipedia says: Two films Women Are Trouble and Here's Flash Casey were produced in the 1930s.
	9:40pm Mr Fab: could be a comedy sketch: Endless Exposition Theater. Where a few characters just describe what happens in a story. The End.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:40 It seems like some action might happen, but it's just theme music taking you to the next exposition scene.
	♥ 9:44pm WR: This Casey guy sure is a know-it-all.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:44 A lot of guys think they are.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Imaginos: Ill stick with Corning, thank you
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:45 No love for Ball?
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 Also good
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Imaginos: But when it comes to famous glass I like Seidenstricker.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Imaginos: Carrot and stick?
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: Another glitch! Sorry folks. I'll try to upload a pristine copy of this show to the archive ASAP.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Heather: Congratulations on 100 Dime Stores!!!! Tuned in and enjoying the show!! Re Corning,it's not far from here and, when I was young, my dad wanted to take me and my sister to the Glass Museum. My sister, generally a quiet kid, started chanting "Corning is boring!" I of course joined in. We never did visit Corning but I always think "Corning is boring!!" Every time I think of the town.
	♥ 10:00pm Maulydaft: The weirdest thing about Casey Crime Photographer is that canned audience at the end - it's the same EVERY WEEK. SO WEIRD! LOL.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Imaginos: Nice to be here enjoying the 100th
	♥ 10:01pm Maulydaft: Whooohooo 100 episodes!
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Heather @9:58 My wife and I went to the Corning Museum of Glass last summer. I didn’t know what to expect and was blown away by how great it was. Hope you and sister get a chance to visit it!
	10:02pm wenzo: Snap crackle pop
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm Heather: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:02 I had a sense at least the museum is by no means boring! I had a friend who worked there and she gave me a stunning piece of art glass from there. It's really gorgeous and I was always afraid to have it out lest the cat knock it over!
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Heather @10:04 Ha ha! Yeah that could be a risk with the cat ha ha
	♥ 10:05pm Maulydaft: Ethelbert served my Shirley Temple in an Anchor tupperware :/ Oh well, he's forgiven...
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Heather: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:05 Absolutely!
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Heather: I'm a Pyrex lady, myself.
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm yerfriendpaul: I’m a Seymour Glass fan
	10:06pm wenzo: Anybody ever watch Below The Planes on youztube?
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm yerfriendpaul: Wow! Madge!!
	♥ 10:12pm Maulydaft: The best thing about Casey Crime Photographer was the jazz piano by Herman Chittison :) en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Imaginos: Hybrid production perhaps?
	♥ 10:14pm Maulydaft: It's nice that this show appreciated jazz. So many made fun, as we've discussed on other Dimestores!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm yerfriendpaul: I’ll definitely check out Herman Chittison’s music. So glad you brought attention to his contributions
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm univac: The piano is excellent! Hello, Heather!
	♥ 10:19pm WR: Work romances are usually problematic.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Heather: ↳ univac @10:18 Hi univac!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather @10:21 Good evening, Heather
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm yerfriendpaul: Remember her famous line? “You’re soaking in it” I love how all the people she talked with somehow managed to dip their hands in a dish of Palmolive, ha ha . Who does that?
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Heather: ↳ Imaginos @10:22 Hi Imaginos!
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Heather: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:24 I remember this very vividly! I always thought she was so glamorous in those ads! Makes me want to dip my hand into a dish of Palmolive right now but I only have Method and that's not the same.
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Heather @10:27 Ha ha! Give it a try, who knows?
	♥ 10:30pm Maulydaft: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:24 Just such a weird idea! You wonder how this got thought up in the ad office...
	10:32pm Mr Fab: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:24 That’s so funny now that you mention it. Everyone’s like, think I’ll just sit and relax my arm by putting my fingers in this little bowl. As one does.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm yerfriendpaul: Crazy how it was such a long running successful ad campaign. Logic isn’t necessary, right?
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: I do recall those Palmolive ads. I remember as a kid, telling my mom we should get some for her, and she made some comment about how expensive it was. Our family was pretty cheap.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Imaginos: Palmolive softens hands, Dawn washes ducklings. Is there any dishwashing liquid that actually does dishes?
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:35 Probably Boraxo.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: Damn, my interwebatron connection tonight sucks. (Thanks Comcast!) I will be sure to upload a pristine copy ASAP.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:36 Borax was really popular
	10:38pm laurapanic: today I've been driving and lurking....loving the show as usual
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm yerfriendpaul: A fierce negotiator!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:37 My dad worked for the railroad, and would come home with filth and grease caked on his hands. The only thing that worked was Boraxo. (At least the brand we had included the extra "o.") I remember trying to use it to wash my hands, and it always hurt.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:38 I'm sort of in love with her.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:38 Thanks for listening! Hopefully the Blue Note Cafe makes good driving sounds.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: "7's that look like 1s." I usually cross my 7s to avoid this kind of confusion. I can't remember where I picked this up, but people used to comment on it more when people would write more things by hand.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: A lot of helpful older citizens are aiding Casey in this story.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 Doesn't crossing your sevens make them look like cursive capital Fs?
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: But facing the other direction.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Barno in Akron: How do you do, fellow kids?
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:43 I usually do my capital fs in calligraphy style
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: This little "we're on the air now" with Tony Marvin and Casey is another blurring of the "4th Wall" in this show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:44 Thanks for joining us, Barno!
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Imaginos: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:44 I'm well
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: This time of year is so weird. The sun is still up as this show ends. Later in the fall / winter, it's dark when I start this show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: Woah! It looks like we'll only go over by 1 Minute tonight!
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm David Shortell: I saw Deke Dickerson perform last Thursday at the Muddy Waters Gastropub in Asbury, NJ. I told him of Dimestore Radio Theater’s broadcast four weeks ago of Rogues Gallery’s “Murder with Muriel” featuring a character named Duke Dickerson. I’m not sure he cared.
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:53 Ha! That's hilarious. I've seen him a few times, and he always put on a great show. I haven't kept up with his albums... I suspect he's still kicking ass?
	10:55pm Mr Fab: ↳ Maulydaft @10:14 Nice use of dialogue over the sometimes awkward long rotary phone dialing scenes.
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm yerfriendpaul: Does this mean that Mrs. McGillicutty doesn’t get her 200 bucks?
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Imaginos: Proud of not recycling
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @10:45 Happy to join! I just returned from a nice evening walk with Misses Barno
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:56 I was just about to comment on that. There was this period in our recent history where the idea was that you should keep your jars and glasses, and they would be made to last longer. Of course, you can sell more things to people if you make them get rid of that glass, and make them buy a new one each time.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: Ethebert's sister, Edna, is often "quoted" in these shows.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: Thanks for listening everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm yerfriendpaul: Thanks Austin! Good night all!
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 Always
	♥ 11:00pm WR: comic asides like that Edna quote are nice touches to the Casey episodes. Thank you! Austin!
	11:00pm Mr Fab: Thank YOU, gracious host!
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 I loved it. I hadn't seen him in years but he recognized me. I first met him around 1989 when he had his group Untamed Youth. I asked him why he doesn't play at the Ocean County libraries anymore and he told me their booker died.
	11:02pm wenzo: Thanks aAR!
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @11:00 Oh, wow! I didn't realize he had a previous band. I should look into that. I only every knew him "solo".
	🎸 ♥ 11:16pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the special tonight!

	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Imaginos: Ill stick with Corning, thank you
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:45 No love for Ball?
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 Also good
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Imaginos: But when it comes to famous glass I like Seidenstricker.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Imaginos: Carrot and stick?
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: Another glitch! Sorry folks. I'll try to upload a pristine copy of this show to the archive ASAP.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Heather: Congratulations on 100 Dime Stores!!!! Tuned in and enjoying the show!! Re Corning,it's not far from here and, when I was young, my dad wanted to take me and my sister to the Glass Museum. My sister, generally a quiet kid, started chanting "Corning is boring!" I of course joined in. We never did visit Corning but I always think "Corning is boring!!" Every time I think of the town.
	♥ 10:00pm Maulydaft: The weirdest thing about Casey Crime Photographer is that canned audience at the end - it's the same EVERY WEEK. SO WEIRD! LOL.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Imaginos: Nice to be here enjoying the 100th
	♥ 10:01pm Maulydaft: Whooohooo 100 episodes!
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Heather @9:58 My wife and I went to the Corning Museum of Glass last summer. I didn’t know what to expect and was blown away by how great it was. Hope you and sister get a chance to visit it!
	10:02pm wenzo: Snap crackle pop
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm Heather: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:02 I had a sense at least the museum is by no means boring! I had a friend who worked there and she gave me a stunning piece of art glass from there. It's really gorgeous and I was always afraid to have it out lest the cat knock it over!
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Heather @10:04 Ha ha! Yeah that could be a risk with the cat ha ha
	♥ 10:05pm Maulydaft: Ethelbert served my Shirley Temple in an Anchor tupperware :/ Oh well, he's forgiven...
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Heather: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:05 Absolutely!
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Heather: I'm a Pyrex lady, myself.
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm yerfriendpaul: I’m a Seymour Glass fan
	10:06pm wenzo: Anybody ever watch Below The Planes on youztube?
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm yerfriendpaul: Wow! Madge!!
	♥ 10:12pm Maulydaft: The best thing about Casey Crime Photographer was the jazz piano by Herman Chittison :) en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Imaginos: Hybrid production perhaps?
	♥ 10:14pm Maulydaft: It's nice that this show appreciated jazz. So many made fun, as we've discussed on other Dimestores!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm yerfriendpaul: I’ll definitely check out Herman Chittison’s music. So glad you brought attention to his contributions
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm univac: The piano is excellent! Hello, Heather!
	♥ 10:19pm WR: Work romances are usually problematic.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Heather: ↳ univac @10:18 Hi univac!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather @10:21 Good evening, Heather
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm yerfriendpaul: Remember her famous line? “You’re soaking in it” I love how all the people she talked with somehow managed to dip their hands in a dish of Palmolive, ha ha . Who does that?
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Heather: ↳ Imaginos @10:22 Hi Imaginos!
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Heather: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:24 I remember this very vividly! I always thought she was so glamorous in those ads! Makes me want to dip my hand into a dish of Palmolive right now but I only have Method and that's not the same.
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Heather @10:27 Ha ha! Give it a try, who knows?
	♥ 10:30pm Maulydaft: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:24 Just such a weird idea! You wonder how this got thought up in the ad office...
	10:32pm Mr Fab: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:24 That’s so funny now that you mention it. Everyone’s like, think I’ll just sit and relax my arm by putting my fingers in this little bowl. As one does.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm yerfriendpaul: Crazy how it was such a long running successful ad campaign. Logic isn’t necessary, right?
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: I do recall those Palmolive ads. I remember as a kid, telling my mom we should get some for her, and she made some comment about how expensive it was. Our family was pretty cheap.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Imaginos: Palmolive softens hands, Dawn washes ducklings. Is there any dishwashing liquid that actually does dishes?
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:35 Probably Boraxo.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: Damn, my interwebatron connection tonight sucks. (Thanks Comcast!) I will be sure to upload a pristine copy ASAP.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:36 Borax was really popular
	10:38pm laurapanic: today I've been driving and lurking....loving the show as usual
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm yerfriendpaul: A fierce negotiator!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:37 My dad worked for the railroad, and would come home with filth and grease caked on his hands. The only thing that worked was Boraxo. (At least the brand we had included the extra "o.") I remember trying to use it to wash my hands, and it always hurt.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:38 I'm sort of in love with her.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:38 Thanks for listening! Hopefully the Blue Note Cafe makes good driving sounds.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: "7's that look like 1s." I usually cross my 7s to avoid this kind of confusion. I can't remember where I picked this up, but people used to comment on it more when people would write more things by hand.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: A lot of helpful older citizens are aiding Casey in this story.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 Doesn't crossing your sevens make them look like cursive capital Fs?
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: But facing the other direction.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Barno in Akron: How do you do, fellow kids?
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:43 I usually do my capital fs in calligraphy style
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: This little "we're on the air now" with Tony Marvin and Casey is another blurring of the "4th Wall" in this show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:44 Thanks for joining us, Barno!
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Imaginos: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:44 I'm well
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: This time of year is so weird. The sun is still up as this show ends. Later in the fall / winter, it's dark when I start this show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: Woah! It looks like we'll only go over by 1 Minute tonight!
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm David Shortell: I saw Deke Dickerson perform last Thursday at the Muddy Waters Gastropub in Asbury, NJ. I told him of Dimestore Radio Theater’s broadcast four weeks ago of Rogues Gallery’s “Murder with Muriel” featuring a character named Duke Dickerson. I’m not sure he cared.
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:53 Ha! That's hilarious. I've seen him a few times, and he always put on a great show. I haven't kept up with his albums... I suspect he's still kicking ass?
	10:55pm Mr Fab: ↳ Maulydaft @10:14 Nice use of dialogue over the sometimes awkward long rotary phone dialing scenes.
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm yerfriendpaul: Does this mean that Mrs. McGillicutty doesn’t get her 200 bucks?
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Imaginos: Proud of not recycling
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @10:45 Happy to join! I just returned from a nice evening walk with Misses Barno
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:56 I was just about to comment on that. There was this period in our recent history where the idea was that you should keep your jars and glasses, and they would be made to last longer. Of course, you can sell more things to people if you make them get rid of that glass, and make them buy a new one each time.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: Ethebert's sister, Edna, is often "quoted" in these shows.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: Thanks for listening everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm yerfriendpaul: Thanks Austin! Good night all!
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 Always
	♥ 11:00pm WR: comic asides like that Edna quote are nice touches to the Casey episodes. Thank you! Austin!
	11:00pm Mr Fab: Thank YOU, gracious host!
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 I loved it. I hadn't seen him in years but he recognized me. I first met him around 1989 when he had his group Untamed Youth. I asked him why he doesn't play at the Ocean County libraries anymore and he told me their booker died.
	11:02pm wenzo: Thanks aAR!
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @11:00 Oh, wow! I didn't realize he had a previous band. I should look into that. I only every knew him "solo".
	🎸 ♥ 11:16pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the special tonight!
